The port area of the Ukrainian city of Berdyansk, claimed to be running smoothly, according to Security.
They wrote the information first came from local Ukrainian media, such as NEXTA TV, which reported that a Russian ship had been hit, but that this information has not been confirmed by independent sources.
The Ukrainian navy said it had destroyed the Orsk, a stranded Russian landing aid ship, which was anchored in the occupied coastal city of Berdyansk, the BBC’s Myroslava Petsa writes on Twitter.

Ukrainian authorities later confirmed the incident in a post on Facebook.
A large “parachute ship named Orsk” of the Black Sea Fleet was occupied by invaders in the Russian-occupied port of Berdyansk, he said.
The post received great support in the comments and has been shared more than 6000 times.
Images and videos of a huge fire and thick smoke spread quickly on social media. Anton Gerashchenko, senior adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, has shared the photo, which is suspected to be the fire, on his own Telegram account.

Berdyansk is located on the Sea of Azov, 75 kilometers southwest of the open port city of Mariupol.
The city has in recent days opened a humanitarian corridor through which civilians can escape, after Russian troops took control of the city on February 27.
